The Tejano Center for Community Concerns, which operates the charter school system, has its headquarters in the RYSS campus in Houston. The Houston school has grades PK-12 in elementary, middle, and high school divisions while the Brownsville school is K-8.The school system was named after Raul Yzaguirre, the founder of the National Council of La Raza.

In 1997 the enrollment doubled to 200. The school, which had a mostly Hispanic student body, had grades 6 through 8. Farias planned to expand the school to K-12. In 2002 the Brownsville campus was established.As of 2019 the system had 1,299 students, with 981 combined in Houston and 349 in Brownsville.Farias believed that middle school students need individual attention and are not well served by larger middle schools.
